Let's make this birthday one to remember.

Happy Birthday, David Talbot! Celebrating the man who boldly founded Salon.com, pioneering journalism on the web before most of us even knew what "dot-com" meant. Your fearless reporting and sharp wit have kept readers informed—and occasionally laughing—for decades.

From groundbreaking exposés to insightful commentary, your work continues to inspire journalists everywhere. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with as much excitement and success as your career—minus any looming deadlines or server crashes!

Cheers to you, David—may this year bring more scoops, fewer typos, and plenty of reasons to celebrate. Keep making headlines (and history)!
